The system of equations are $\"\"$ .

Neither variable has a common coefficient.The coefficient of the y - variables are 8 and 6 and their least common multiple is 24, so multiply each equation by the value that will make the y - coefficient 24.

To get two equations that contain opposite terms multiply the first equation by negative 3 and multiply the second equation by 4.

Write the equations in column form and add the corresponding columns to eliminate y - variable.

$\"\"$

The resultant equation is $\"\"$ . $\"\"$

Substitute the value of $\"\"$ in either of the original equations and solve for y.

The first equation: $\"\"$ .

$\"\"$

Subtract 27 from each side.

$\"\"$

$\"\"$ $\"\"$

Divide each side by 8.

$\"\"$

Cancel common terms.

$\"\"$ . $\"\"$

The solution is $\"\"$ .
